Publicity Men to Receive Tips to Gain Recognition
“Campus organizations can receive greater DT coverage only through an expanded public relations program,” A1 Mour, head of the Public Relations Committee of the ASSC Senate said yesterday.
In order to aid publicity chairmen of all campus groups to gain wider recognition through readership in the DT, the first in a series of meetings on publicity will be held today at 2 p.m. in the International Lounge.
Mour, said “it is imperative that representatives rrom service clubs, interest groups, fraternities, sor-
orities, political parties and dormitories attend this important
conference.”
Hank Alcouloumre, distinguished editor and columnist for the DT, will stress the need for organization of publicity so that all groups can get adequate coverage in the paper.
APhiO president, Shelley Jones, will teU the group how posters can be distributed and the most effective means of poster location.
Mour said he will tell the group how to work with the University News Bureau for coverage in the downtown papers and will give
specifications on deadlines, photographs and datelists.

GM FIREBIRD—First Graders from Clairbourn School, San Gabriel, were the first people in Los Angeles to get a look at the Firebird, General Motors' experimental gas turbine car.
The youngsters, visiting Griffith Park Zoo, squealed with excitement at the sight of the car. "Look, teacher," one boy yelled, "they use this car on Mars."
Trojanality Contest Set For March 31 Opening
“Mr. Trojanality” contest in conjunction with Trojan Chest Week will get under way Mar. 31 when the voting begins on University Avenue, Contest Chairman Ed Wilkinson announced yesterday.
The contest to select the outstanding male personality on campus through donations to Trojan Chest will follow a horse racing theme this year with votes selling
for 25 cents each.
Twenty-five cents, 50 cents, and $1 “win tickets” will be sold and semi-daily tabulations of the contestants positions will be given at the campus booth on the corner of 36th Street and University Avenue.
Hold Nominations
Fraternities, service groups, and other campus organizations will hold nominations to select the candidates which each will sponsor.
The voting will close Apr. 2 and “Mr. T.” will be announced the following night at the Beaux Arts Ball that will climax the fund drive.
Acclaimed to be the biggest money maker for Trojan Chest in 1950 when the voting collected $3600, the contest has since failed to top this mark. Contributions last year amounted to $76.

Early History Film
The film is “early movie history” and was produced around 1915. Rogoway promises it will be good entertainment.
The 12 films comprise a selection to be presented as the Film Classic series. They are shown on Tuesdays at 7:30 and 8:30 p.m. in 133 and 229 FH. Both run concurrently and not simultaneously, Rogoway explained.
Rogoway said the $3 tickets for the series of 12 could be paid in deferred payments if the subscriber couldn’t afford one lump sum.
But, he reminded everyone interested that today was the last day to buy tickets.
Next week “My Darling Clementine” will be shown. Alec Gui-ness will display his antics in “A Rim for Your Money,” which will be presented in a few weeks.

Wampus Sales
Top 2300 Mark
More than 2300 copie« of the Wampus had been sold as of yesterday, said Circul a 11 o n Manager Bob Hildenbrand.
Although the W’amp was passed out to University College students last night, no tabulation has been made to find out how many were actually sold to the night owls.
“We printed 4000 copies,” Hildenbrand said. “That is the most printed in the 35 years of publication. We will continue to sell them until Thursday night.”
in engineering schools said, “Your training should be for a profession, for a full and fruitful life, not merely for a job. You can’t do that by concentrating on applications today which may be obsolete tomorrow.
Work in Vain
“A common saying among the men working in the jet engine field, for instance, is that by the time they get an engine through the model shop and can see it in the flesh, it is already obsolete,” Boyd said.
Boyd, a veteran in research, is an outstanding example of a man who has followed through on his thesis. He collaborated with Charles F. Kettering and the late Thomas Midgley Jr., in the discovery of tetraethyl lead as an antiknock agent for automotive and aviation fuels.
Engineering Improvement
In today’s talk Boyd will point out that research is “a very important part of our progress in technology and relates to contin-
ued engineering improvement things we already have.”
One of the latest developments in the auto industry is General Motors’ experimental car, the XP-21. Its been described as a “jet fighter on wheels.”
Powered by a 370-horsepower gas turbine engine, the newest innovation in souped up “hot-rods” is a sleek, white, single-seater “laboratory on wheels.”
Wide as Cadillac The Firebird (XP-21) is, in length and width, about the size of a 1954 Cadillac 62 coupe. Overall length of the Firebird is 222.7 inches compared with the Cadillac’s 223.4. Width of each can: is 80 inches.
Features of the experimental car could be incorporated in the car of ’74, many researchers and designers believe.
Although the» assembly is primarily for engineers, all students are invited to attend. Dean Robert E. Vivian of Engineering, said.

Puesto Rican Fanatics Shoot Five U. S. Representatives
from the United Press
WASHINGTON, Mar. 1—Four Puerto Rican fanatics, led by a 34-year-old woman, fired a fusillade of bullets into the unsuspecting House of Representatives today and wounded five Congressmen.
The assailants, shouting for a “free” Puerto Rico, raked the 200 assembled Congressmen from an overhanging visitors gallery with from a dozen to 30 shots.
Some of the lawmakers stood too stunned to move. Others threw themselves to the floor. Some crawled from the chamber on hands or scurried behind furniture. Five fell wounded, one seriously. Three raced upstairs to help subdue their assailants.
Rep. James E. Van Zandt (R-Pa.), Wingate Lunas (D-Tex.) and Joe Holt (R-Cal) and a handful of courageous spectators and House employes overpowered the gunmen.
Police called them members of the “same gang” that tried to kill former President Truman in 1950 and said the attack was planned in New York on Feb. 22, the birthday of George Washington who led this country’s fight for independence.
Most seriously wounded in the attack was Rep. Alvin M. Bentley (R-Mich.). He was struck by two bullets, one of which pierced his body. He was rushed to Casualty Hospital where he was listed in “serious” condition.
Bentley’s office said the Congressman’s physicians are confident he will recover, however.
Less seij^usly wounded were:
Rep. Ben F. Jensen (R-Iowa), shot in the back and taken to Bethesda Naval Medical Center. His condition apparently was not critical.
Rep. Clifford Davis (D-Tenn.),
wounded in the right leg and also taken to the Medical Center. His condition also apparently was
not critical.
Rep. George H. Fallon (D-Md.), shot in the hip, and removed to Casualty Hospital where his condition was reported as satisfan-
tory.
Rep. Kenneth A. Roberts (D-Ala.), wounded in the leg and taken to Casualty Hospital. He was reported in satisfactory condition.
Recalling the attack on Mr. Truman, the Secret Police alerted its White House guards.
